Nicki Minaj Slams 'Clown' Tomi Lahren After Offensive Tweet About 21 Savage's Arrest
By Jennifer Fabiano
While some could only focus on the Super Bowl this past Sunday, all others could think about was rapper 21 Savage’s possible deportation. Demi Lovato got bullied off Twitter for tweeting about it, and now Nicki Minaj is coming for Tomi Lahren, a conservative political commentator, for making light of the situation on Twitter.
On Sunday, Lahren tweeted out a Variety article link about 21 Savage along with offensively modified lyrics from one of the rapper’s songs.
I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ICE agents ready to deport ya. https://t.co/tivP1Ljj8V

On Monday, Nicki took notice and clapped back by quote-tweeting Lahren and writing, "Your obsession w/our culture is scary to say the least. I hate giving you the attention you so desperately crave. Laughing @ ppl getting deported as if your ancestors discovered America. Are you Native American? You fkn clown.”

Lahren didn’t take her time with responding to Minaj. Less than an hour later, Lahren wrote, “When you’re in the country illegally, you get deported. I didn’t write the law and neither did ICE. They enforce it. I hope @21savage is able to get an entertainment visa or become a citizen one day. P.S. My ancestors did discover America.”

Nicki isn’t the first female rapper to feud with the former television host. Last month, Lahren criticized Cardi B’s political views, sparking the comment, “Leave me alone I will dog walk you” from Cardi. On Monday morning, Cardi also responded to Lahren’s tweet about 21 Savage, writing, “Don’t make me get my leash.”
21 Savage was arrested on Sunday for being in the country illegally. ICE is currently holding the rapper for deportation proceedings, and his lawyer has accused the organization of working to “intimidate” the rapper into leaving the country.
